Answer 1

$ \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{6}n \right)=\frac{1}{2}e^{j\frac{\pi}{6}n}+\frac{1}{2}e^{-j\frac{\pi}{6}n} $

$ \mathcal X (\omega)=\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty 2\pi \delta (\omega-k\omega_0+2\pi m) $

$ \mathcal X (\omega)=\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty 2\pi \delta (\omega-\frac{\pi}{6}+2\pi m)+\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty 2\pi \delta (\omega+\frac{\pi}{6}+2\pi m) $
